You can reach out or send me an email I enjoy helping other investors, sharing info and talking REI! 

Find something most everyone enjoys that is also unique to your community.

Each one of those things can make or break an approval and the end goal of cash flow.Feel free to reach out I enjoy helping and those states are where I focus as well as my friends, family and my customers/investors.

Quote from @Jonathan Weinberger: Hey BP community, Every so often I enjoy writing about my investing experience here.

We invest locally and enjoy being involved in the projects.

If we meet a resident through an OTA, we enjoy certain protections with that platform, but if, at any time, the resident wishes to extend, but not through the platform, we require the same background check, credit check, and eviction check as for anyone else not booking through an OTA. 

I have run an ALF with about 50 patients and really enjoyed it.

@Tony SchmuckerYou've done great narrowing it down, but focus on cities you and your spouse would enjoy living in—numbers aren't everything.

I don't see the value proposition there from a ROTI (Return on Time Invested).By that time, a passive investor in syndications who achieved a 15% CAGR on his money is a multi-millionaire many times over, without the lender calling him every year for an update on the insurance or HOA companies ;) I enjoy the freedom of living anywhere in the world, not having to track pieces of mail related to my rental properties.Private Equity is where its at. 

If you enjoy direct involvement and have time to manage, self-management can work.
